It’s been one of those summer weeks of sitting and sweating! Lots of walking too, although not much brisk walking obviously.

Claude – warm and stuffy week

I feel like I spend my time complainin8,000 steps, one-hour Feldenkrais classg about the weather! Couldn’t someone tell whoever organises all this or should I say disorganises it that average temperature like 25°C, with rain at night would just be perfect?
Today is particularly hot and stuffy, but as it is Sunday, I won’t complain too [...]

Claude – an afternoon off!

What a week! For the first time in all those weeks, I had a whole afternoon off. And took advantage of it! I went to see a great exhibition at Grand Palais: One picture may hide another.

From Saturday June 13th to Friday June [...]

It turns out that my almost daily ten minutes stretching exercise has become as indispensable as the walking. I do miss my weekly [...]

Claude – walking and trying to get some rest

Had a long weekend this week, four days in a row and probably the last short week till July 10th. Which means I only “worked” three long days, getting home at 11pm twice.
What I find particularly difficult is having no schedule. When I worked, I knew what time I started and what time I stopped. [...]

Claude – sitting a lot, but still walking

As I mentioned last week, I have been called on jury duty. The good part is that I can still get some walking done, I get it done at lunch time and on the way back home. Of course, I have to remain seated for long sessions. I can’t tell you more about it, so [...]

Claude – two hectic weeks

I am sorry for not posting last week, although I see that apart Holly and Lia… I am not the only one to have good excuses.
I have been called for jury duty this next Monday and have been trying to get everything that had to be done over the last two weeks done.
So, the last [...]
